1 month doctor's appt

We went to the doctor this morning! Yay!! We weighed in at 8 lbs and 14 oz and measured 21 inches however they didn't get him fully stretched out so I think he is closer to 21.5! The doctor said he looked great and was putting on weight like he should. He got one shot, I made Grammie hold his arms down and I got to save him from those mean ole women! :)

He is a 4 week pic for you all to enjoy! Also our christmas picture! We wish you all a MERRY CHRISTMAS!! Have a great holiday and be safe!

Love

Cassie and Lane

As you all know Cassie is my cousin, she is one of the coolest almost 4 year olds I know! Well she has been over the moon in love with Lane (aka Baby J) since day one!! She is always wanting to hold him, change him, or feed him! It is so sweet to watch her help me each weekday!! She is so gentle and caring with him!! She is such a great "BIG" cousin!! So here are some pics from the past week of the two of them together

Lane's first "snow"

Ok...so as you know we live in Oklahoma! We don't usually get snow(usually it's ice) however the other day we got a little bit(not even an inch) but it was Lane's first snow! So here he is at the front door, you really can't see the snow but it's the thought that counts!!

TWO WEEKS OLD

Wow...Lane is two weeks old today! Time is seems to be flying by!! He is doing so good, he sleeps between 4 and 5 1/2 hours a night! Yes you read that right!! He is beginning to be more alert and looking around, he will sorta of turn his head when he hears JJ's or my voice! It's so sweet!! Also this past Saturday we took him to see Santa, he was very awake during the whole time! Well I'm off to take care of a few things while Lane is chilling in his chair!! Enjoy these pics!!

Lane and Daddy hanging out in the chair!! This is Lan'e favorite sleep position

This was before we went to see Santa!! I think he was telling "I'm not listening to you!!"

We had to be at the hospital at 5:30am Tuesday morning, we got here got a room. Signed our lives away!!! By 6am they had me started on the pit drip. At that point I was at a still at a 2 and 80%. They started slowly increasing, my doctor came in at around 10, checked me I was at a 3 and 90%. She was able to break my water with her fingers, and told me it might be a long day. After that the contracitons started coming strong and hard. So they gave Nubain to take the edge off..the nurse checked me again and said I was still at a 3 and 90 and that he had a full head of hair at 11ish..I was carrying on a convo with my family and I started sweating and I need to pee(11:25ish) so JJ went and got a nurse to help me to the restroom...I then went to climb back into bed and she hooked me up to the monitor and it took her forever to find HB..it was in the 70's and within a minute I had 5 or 6 nurse surrounding me rolling me and making me get on all fours. Nothing was working..so they pulled the monitors and started running me down to the OR..JJ was in shock and panic as was I...they got me in the OR and told me that JJ was scrubbing in, and that they were so sorry they weren't telling me much. All of this started at 11:33. I was knocked completely out, they last thing I remember was hearing my doctors voice saying "Are we ready, we need to get him out NOW" When I woke up in recover, I was told that I had a perfect health 8 pound baby with a head full of blond hair and that daddy was with him..I am still under the impression that JJ was in the room with when Lane was delivered.. Once they had my pain under control they started wheeling me back to my room, they stopped at the nursery and they held Lane up to the window for me to see him.I got back to my room, and five minutes later JJ came in with Lane and started telling me the story...he was almost scrubbed in and they came out and told him that he couldn't come in b/c they had me knocked and they needed to move fast. They told him that is the quickest they had ever seen my doctor run. He was delivered in 15 minutes from the time it all started in my room.



Now for what you guys want to see!! Here is little man!!!

7 DAYS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Yes, you read the title right!! We are 7 days(or less) from finally meeting our little man!! Lane has been very active lately(we are guessing he is just as excited to meet us and keep us up for hours on end)!! I have been in MAJOR nesting mode! Poor JJ!! Let's just say the poor guy comes home working at the pharmacy only to have a huge honey do list!!! He has also gotten a crash course in how to use my camera's, so there will be NO lack of pics of our little man!!!!!!!

We have some great family news...JJ's cousin Brooke is expecting twins and they have found out that they are a boy and a girl.. Weslee Parker and Brooklyn Rose!! Congrats, we love you guys!!!!

Well I had better get off of here and get ready for my doctor's appt! I will be sure to keep you all updated!! Thank you for all of the prayers! We can't wait to share Lane with you all!
